Apprenticeships

Careermap connects young people with educational institutions and businesses to make sure that young people understand exactly what choices are available to them when they leave school.

Apprenticeships are an excellent option for those leaving school to train and learn a role in a hands-on environment. Through apprenticeships, young people get the opportunity to work with experienced professionals who have a wealth of knowledge relating to their chosen scheme, so they can provide young people with support and guidance along the way while they also study towards a professional qualification.

There are a wide range of sectors that accept apprentices, including everything from health and beauty to engineering and plumbing. Careermap offers a wide choice of opportunities for young people to choose from.
